Hello there,

This is not a issue with the website, but rather something I would like to see. Would it be possible to make is so you can download a story that is finished as a single txt document instead of broken down into different chapters?

Just something I would prefer to have over the sorry broken up into chapters. If not I will continue merging the txt documents into a single file.

Thank you and have a nice day

It would be too complicated to start giving people all those various options. However, if you are using any version of Windows, I can give you a quick tutorial on combining plain-text files:

1. Open the command line.
2. Go to the directory you've unzipped the files into. The command for this is "cd C:\path\to\story\files" (Change C: to the proper drive letter.) The files should be numbered something like 001.txt, 002.txt, and so on.
3. Type "copy /a 0*.txt storyname.txt" (without the quotes) and hit enter. (You can replace "storyname" with the actual name of the story... just don't start it with a 0, or Windows may yell at you...)

You should now have a single file with all the chapters inside of it. Not sure if this is how you've been doing it, or if you have a program... or if you've been doing it manually *shudders*.

Thank you for the quick response and the info on combining the files together quicker been doing it manually. Hopefully this will be quicker then copy/pasting all of them together.
